Seen it on NFL Network. They didn't make their picks based on success or failure obviously the keyword is intriguing. The top 10 were: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-hq-videos/09000d5d816f856e/Jets-acquisitions #1 - Brett Favre: started off great ended off old #2 - Ronnie Lott: too bad we didn't draft him. #3 - Curtis Martin: best free agent signing in NYJ history, to me 2nd best Jet ever #4 - Boomer Esiason: solid player in the twilight of his career #5 - LaDainain Tomlinson: ??? #6 - Steve Atwater: this guy hit like a freight train loved him in his prime #7 - Art Monk: with the Jets was the definition of over the hill #8 - Neil O'Donnell: aka the Mistake #9 - Ty Law: the selfish fat one who later would repay us mentoring Revis as a kid #10 -Dexter Carter: LOL
They forgot about Kevin Mawae, Alan Faneca, Wayne Cherbet (UDFA), Bryan Cox, and Jumbo Elliot. Atwater, Monk, and Carter don't belong on the list.
I agree but its not the most successful acquisitions list, its the most intriguing. Mawae is a C and Faneca is a LG. Even though they are some of the best to play their positions, lineman aren't intriguing nor is it a sexy position. Jumbo Elliot is nobody special. Chrebet was a nobody who was labeled training camp fodder. Bryan Cox is closer to intriguing then the others but is not a bigger name and/or was not more of an impact signing then anyone on that list except for Dexter Carter. It boggles my mind how he made that list lol.
Most "intriguing", not necessarily "best". There's nothing remotely intriguing about a team signing an undrafted FA. If the list was based on success, I'd go with Martin for sure as #1.
